Answer: The mass of pure copper is 33.6 grams
Explanation:
To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}[/tex]
We are given:
Density of pure copper = [tex]8.96g/cm^3[/tex]
Volume of pure copper = [tex]3.75cm^3[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]8.96g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of pure copper}}{3.75cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of pure copper}=(8.96g/cm^3\times 3.75cm^3)=33.6g[/tex]
Hence, the mass of pure copper is 33.6 grams
